{
  "mcpServers": {
    "run-as-root-warden-mcp-server": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": [
        "/absolute/path/to/warden-mcp-server/server.js"
      ]
    }
  }
}

You gain a dedicated MCP server that bridges AI assistants with your Warden-managed Magento 2 projects. It automates common development tasks, runs commands inside containers, and keeps environments consistent, helping you move faster and reduce setup friction.

How to use

Describe your goal to your AI assistant, and it will use the available MCP tools to operate your Warden Magento environments. You can start, stop, and monitor environments, run Magento CLI commands, execute PHP scripts, manage dependencies, and query databases all from within your AI-enabled workflow. The server is designed to work with an MCP client configuration that points the assistant at the local MCP server instance.

Key patterns you will use include starting or stopping a project, initializing a new project with a Magento 2 environment, running PHP scripts inside the proper container, executing Magento CLI commands, and performing unit tests or composer tasks. Ensure your MCP client is configured to communicate with the local MCP server using the provided command and arguments.

How to install

Prerequisites you need before installation include Node.js and npm, plus a compatible MCP client.

Step 1: Install Node.js and npm

Step 2: Install server dependencies

npm install

Step 3: Start the MCP server (the server is launched via npm scripts or a runtime command as configured in your MCP client). This typically involves running the start command from your project root.

Configuration and usage notes

Configure your MCP client to connect to the local server. Use the standard MCP client JSON structure to point to the server executable and its arguments. The following examples illustrate the local stdio configuration you should add to your MCP client.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "warden-magento": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["/absolute/path/to/warden-mcp-server/server.js"],
      "env": {}
    }
  }
}

Security and access

Ensure you control access to the MCP server and restrict it to trusted clients. Use your organization’s secrets handling for any environment variables, tokens, or API keys needed by tools. Review container and network permissions to prevent unauthorized access to development data.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues, check the following: server logs during startup, MCP client logs for connection errors, and container logs via your environment’s tooling. The MCP server inspector can help diagnose configuration and connectivity problems.

Notes

The server exposes a set of practical tools to manage Warden Magento environments from your AI workflows, including environment management, database operations, PHP execution, Magento CLI commands, unit testing, and dependency management.
